We are not persuaded by Appellants' argument that the Examiner has not shown preemption. Replay Br. 4. First, that the claims do not preempt all forms of the abstraction or may be limited to the abstract idea in the e-commerce setting do not make them any less abstract. See OIP Technologies, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., 788 F.3d 1359, 1360—1361 (2015). Second, preemption is one test, but not the only test for finding a claim directed to an abstract idea. Third, as the claims do no more than lay out conceptual advice on one way to substitute credit accounts, and recite doing so by a general purpose computer, by definition of preemption this precludes all methods of following that advice. The recitation of a computer does not alter this analysis.
